Installation

I installed Linux Mint 18.1. The only non standard thing i had to do, was to shrink the Windows 10 partition with gnuparted. The installer had no option for that or I did not found it. Other than that, the installation went without a hitch and I was able to start both Windows 10 and Linux mint afterwards.

The kernel which is installed is linux-image-4.4.0-72-generic.

Configuration

As the display of the notebook has 2560×1440 pixel, the user interface was very small and difficult to use with both the mate and cinnamon flavor. Cinnamon has a configuration (Settings-General) where you can scale the interface for high dpi displays as that one. With the option “double” the cinnamon user interface is quite nice and usable.

Sound works out of the box

Special keys like dimming the display or muting work

Problems

Wifi

As of now, the wifi is not working. There seems to be drivers missing. Output of lshw
